Chapter 2 The nightmare

"Keep your distance away from my son, you stinky rag. How many times do I have to tell you that you're not fit for my son? Huh!"

"My son isn't fit for you and the sooner it gets to your brain, the better for all of us."

These nightmares keep coming back no matter how much Jessica tries to forget them.

She remembers them vividly as if it happened just yesterday. Tears ran down from her cheeks as she held her tummy tight screaming for help from her sleep.

Help! Help! She woke up breathing so hard.

No matter how much she tries, it's still fresh in her memory. The words Dave said to her, the hardship his mother put her and her mother through and the thought of almost losing her precious child was still taunting her.

All she feels right now is a deep hatred she has grown for Dave, the one she once loved with everything in her but did her dirty in an unusual way.

She was only 17 years old but she had to grow up quickly thanks to the Johnson's family. Even though they're still good people who showed her love like Grandma Leah and Mr Andrew, but Dave's mother wasn't fair to them and it hurts so bad.

She stood up to check on her daughter who meant the whole world to her. She was her safe haven whenever she was feeling down. She opened her room and admired her while she slept so peacefully. Bent over to pat her gently smiling and crying before giving her a soft kiss on her cheeks.

She loved how peaceful she was while sleeping and thanked God for bringing her her way. Her daughter was the reason, she had to restart life again.

When she found out that she was pregnant for Dave at a very young age, she really thought that everything would start going well for the both of them once she broke the news to him but unfortunately for her, it didn't go as planned.

And with what Mrs Sarah did to her knowing that she was pregnant, she made it her greatest responsibility to protect her precious daughter from the Johnson's family. She didn't want to put her child through in the hands of Sarah Johnson.

And her mum, who had always been her greatest support system, resigned from working for the Johnson's and taking care of her bruised child.

"Oh sweet mum, you've shown me how a mother is meant to be and I'm glad to do that for Millie."

After an hour staring and caressing her daughter, she left her room back to hers to use the remaining hours to sleep.

Jessica Lawson works as one of the best wedding planners in the City and loved her job so much.

She has helped plan out the best weddings ever recorded and has been named in Forbes as one of the most influential women under 30.

"So tell me Ms Lawson, how were you able to achieve great heights in just five years of starting?" The interviewer asked.

"Well, I'll say passion first, because without passion there won't be success. Please don't get me wrong. You can also succeed without passion but there is something about passion that separates you from other things. You will find fulfillment doing that particular thing if you have the passion for it. So that's how I got here and I'm so grateful to be here right now."

"Wow, that's something to take home today honestly, passion sets you apart from just doing. Thank you so much, Jessica and I can't wait to have you here again if you don't mind."

"Sure, sure, anytime."

"Ok, before we call it a wrap, I know people are curious to know the man behind these beautiful smiles and hot body. By the way, you look so good and I know someone is behind it. Tell us, we want to know."

"Haha, well to be honest I wish I could say there is someone but unfortunately there's no one except my job that's keeping me busy and I'm enjoying it. Maybe that is what is making me happy in all the right places."

"Haha, that's fair enough Ms Lawson. Fair enough. Once again, thank you for gracing this show to talk to us. We are so happy you're here and I know our viewers are the same."

"Pleasure is all mine." Jessica said.

"So here you have it, the beautiful Jessica Lawson has given us a bit too much of what we want to know about how to succeed on any line of work as long as you have the passion for it. I hope you go home today with the saying that goes, "Passion is the ultimate key to great Success."

"Till we come your way next time, remain fabulous my lovelies. Muah, Bye....."

The interviewer who is Jessica's best friend, Lisa couldn't stop grinning at her friend for coming to her show. It took almost five months before Jessica agreed to come on tv to speak with Lisa.

"Gurl! You rock, huh! Now I can actually rest from my boss who has been on my neck for the past months now. You're hot cake now, you know."

"I'm glad I can rest too and I hope it will be for the longest because you're a pain in the ass."

"I know I am and that is why you love me even more."

"I honestly do wonder where and how I met you Lisa because..."

"Because nothing girl, you are blessed to have me in your life, don't mention darling."

"I hate you." Jessica said while leaving Lisa's dressing room.

"I love you too and remember dinner at my place tonight, don't forget!"

"Such a drama queen."

Jessica smiled while leaving the broadcasting station.

Just as she was about to enter her gray light Range Rover, a car drove in front of her, almost hitting her car when she realized who it was.

"Please not you today."
